Once tiny acorn fell
From its parerE tree,
Eell-wa as burf'-e in the earth,
Hid from yon and me.
Yearg rolled by, that acorn grew
If.lI aud strong and free;
Grew, until it's branches wide
Sheltered you and me.
Other trees had crowded round,
livery kind Of tree,
But no other monarch was
So loved by you and me.
Years passed IN. and other Gears
Came to tahe their place
Years that brought grave lines Of care
To nay playmate S face.
Till at last the woodman's AK
Felled Il at tree one day,
And upon the rivers breast
1t drifted tar away.
Drifted in tie sunset light
Drifted meath the moon;
Drifted toward the rising sun
DIifted all too soon.
But it held a given course,
Guided secretly;
As our lives have s,52nt themselves,
Drifting quietly
DriftinC-ves, we say It's so;
But a mystic hand
Guides our footsteps ten3erly
To a happier land.
Like th~ tiny acorn's fail,
Varied growth and life,
Our existence Is, Till death
Ends each petty strife.

CREAM rises almost wholly when the
milk is cooling, says the DdUU Farmer,
and if the milk is warmed up TO 100 degrees
the cream will nearly all rise while the
milk is gradually cooling down to 80 de-
grees.
PRoF. II. L. ALvoRD believed that the
milk itself was more susceptible to the in
fuence of the air than to the breathing of
the COW. He would draw the milk in
the open air and thus have it thoroughly
oxygenated. When the cows are MIXED in
the same air in which they stand, the milk
will he bad but if MIXED in fresh air the
trouble will be obviated.
TIE instinct of a fowl leads it to
scratch, even in feeding on heap of whole
grain. This causes it to stop eating long
enough to swallow. We give fowls too
much at time, and this causes them to
stuff themselves so as to iniure their crops
IL fed dampened meal. 4 little whole grain
scattered among straw will make poultry
scratch for what they get and conduce to
their healthfulness.
a NERMoNTER tells how he conquered a
! kicking COW, as follows: al tied her short
In the stable, and, lifting one of her fore
feet so that the knee would be bent ND

would slip easily over the knee and up on

Ee,.o,. crane zine Leore.

Some people have an idea that grapes
are ripened by the heat of the sun shining
upon them, and therefore cut and slash
their grapevines during the latter part of
Summer. The leaves of the vine are the
lungs. They are essential to perfecting
the fruit, especially the leaf opposite the
bunch, which is most likely to be cut away
in mistaken zeal for letting in sunlight;
without this leaf the bunch will ripen
slowly and never attain its best flavor. Too
much cutting away of the vines is apt to
start dormant buds and thus ruin the crop
for next year. Only pinching the end Of
the vine at midsummer to stop its growth
is allowable

FARMING.
Corn lrrainy Ye,fo,c.

When sowed corn begins to turn yellow
from being sown TO thickly. ii soon ceases
to acquire any additional value. Not only
does growth cease, but the plant becomes
watery and insipid. Cows will eat it, but
their milk will shrink as compared with
even fair pasture. To give really nutri-
tious stalks, sowed or drilled corn should
have room enough to grow in, so that most
of the stalks would at least set nubbin.
When this is the case there is a great
amount of sweet in the stalk.

drain upon, not only her strength and

J ne In " heat.

Owing to the low price of wheat farmers
are becoming less careful to keep it free
from rye. The two grains vary little in
value by weight, and there are many farm
ers who think that they produce better
crops when grown together, but if rye gets
in the farm, more or less will appear in the
wheat field every season. Years ago, farm
ers used to cut out the rye just as its tall
stalks peered above the wheat; but little of
that is done now. This scattering rye does
not detract enough from the price to make
it worth while TO remove it. But rye is
much harder than wheat, and in bad sea-
sons will rapidly increase in proportion to
the finer grain. 1t is worth while TO get
pure seed wheat. This is the only way to
prevent rye from coming in.

yotcjjiU Eur!U Tomatoes.

A Pennsylvania grower aims to grow his
tomatoes for market as early as possible.
In the height of the season they show but
very little profit. For early planting, he
sows seeds in January or February in shall
low boxes and forces in the greenhouse.
He plants out as soon as the ground is dry
and warm, usually in May, setting the
plants two feet apart, in rows four feet
apart. Each plant is trained to u stake
four or five feet high. 1t does not pay him
to grow them without stalking. He trims
closely at first, leaving only a few branches
for early fruit. Later he does not trim,
but simply ties the vines to the stakes IN
til the top is reached, when they are al
lowed to hang over and fruit until killed
by frost. In training, he makes about
three tyings to stake, leaving only the
main vine to grow. AS the shoots and
laterals grow, he cuts them back TO one
leaf. He is convinced that the finest fruit
is produced by leaving sufficient foliage to
protect it from the direct rays of the sun,
and at the same time not SO dense as to ex-
clude light and air.
